Fort Douglas, was built in the late-nineteenth century by the federal government to keep "The Mormon Threat" under control. After Young decided to dissolve the State of Deseret and join the union in order to prevent a civil war, the military base remained, functioning mostly as housing for military families. The base was in use until the mid-1990s when it was closed.
This collection was created by a architecture class at the University of Utah and contains 19 essays on various aspects of the architecture of the Fort.
